Twisted Oaks Golf Club has officially broken ground on the new course and clubhouse.
Twisted Oaks is the former Top O’ The Lake Golf Course in rural Bowie.
“There was no official ceremony,” PGA Professional Ron Moxom said. “We just went to work.”
The new clubhouse will be completed by Easter weekend in 2015, Moxom reported.
Amenities will include a fully stocked golf shop, dining area, pavilion and porch.
There will be a regular schedule for food and a beverage service also will be offered for special events.
Work on the clubhouse began on Oct. 30 and the course itself on Monday. The course itself will be finished by summer of 2015. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

Twisted Oaks will play host to best-ball event

There will be a two-person team “Turkey Shoot” on Nov. 22 at Twisted Oaks Golf Club in rural Bowie.
The event will begin at 10 a.m. with a shotgun start.
Twisted Oaks is the new name of the former Top O’ The Lake Golf Course.
This tournament is open to all two-person teams. All teams play nine holes of gross best ball, and the low six teams will make the shoot-out.
The entry fee is $100 per team, with the field limited to the first 18 teams signing up.
The cost includes the prize purse, range balls and a cook-out dinner.
The prize money is as follows: $500 for the winning team, $300 for second, $200 for third and $100 for fourth.
There also will be an optional $10 team Skins Game.
PGA professional Ron Moxom reports the course will play at about 2,800 yards.
In addition, there will be a $500 long drive contest. There is a separate $75 entry fee for this contest. It’s a winner-take-all format.
For information and to register, call Moxom at 1-940-872-4000.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
